WERI-Rb-1 Neuroglioma Cells (WERI-Rb-1)

WERI-Rb-1 exhibit grape-like clusters of round cells that were isolated from the retina of a female 1-year-old, with Retinoblastoma.

The cells survive culturing in Difco Bacto-Agar but do not form colonies. Scanning electron microscopy reveals some variation in the number and frequency of surface blebs, lamellipodia and microvilli. The line is of interest in studies of cell differentiation, animal models of tumor therapy and biochemical evaluations.
